Abstract: The elderly population has increased considerably, making it necessary to create specific social groups for this public as an opportunity to exchange knowledge in addition to providing leisure, occupational and recreational activities. Objective: This is an experience report of a group focused on health promotion for the elderly linked to the Reference Center for the Elderly in the city of Canoas - RS. Methodology: The group was carried out by a multidisciplinary team (occupational therapist, nurse, psychologist, social worker, physical educator, geriatrician, nutritionist), once a week, lasting 2 hours, with different themes, starting with a theoretical part and after a practical part. Result: We were able to verify the benefits arising from the participation of users in the activities that are carried out in this space, such as: bond between the participants as well as with the team, punctuality and attendance of the elderly demonstrating their interest and appreciation, increased frequency in consultations and in the your healthcare process. We believe that the maintenance and expansion of these spaces are of paramount importance for effective mental health care.
